This isn't the first time we haven't had a clear-cut winner. The SNES and Genesis were neck and neck for years...
Even with the PS1/N64 gen, it's not like the PS1 had a huge win. N64 had a 40% market share at the beginning... I don't think the PS1 really pulled ahead until it was re-marketed as the PSOne, after the N64 was discontinued.
Anyway, competition isn't a bad thing. And there were plenty of happy Gamecube and XBox1 owners, as there were fantastic games on those consoles as well as the #1 PS2 :)
